I've been unable to find a concise answer anywhere else on the web. Since its only a few words, albeit crucial ones, that are in Korean I don't want to have to muck around with HLaTex or deviate from pdfLaTeX that I'm using at the moment.

Personally, I had a lot of trouble trying to get the CJK package to work. So I went on the KTUG website and found that they use the package kotex.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{kotex}
\begin{document}
안녕하세요!
\end{document}
The good part about this was I was able to simply copy and paste hangul from websites into the LaTeX document and it worked fine. I only wanted a few words (my name) as well, so this option might be quicker and easier.

You can use the CJK package. A little example (taken from CJKutf8.tex):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{mj}

@Ansu the font is missing in your system. Install it using the package manager of your LaTeX system. Commented Jun 24, 2013 at 14:03

Found a simpler way.
I had to input only a file name in Korean script (as per computer font name its "Gulim") while rest of the document is in English. Initially I could not get it compiled due to the font not set
What I did was to include as below under the input preamble (you can add the required fonts too in the same way) and yeah my job was done.
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{SimSun}
\setCJKsansfont{SimHei}
\setCJKmonofont{FangSong}
\setCJKmainfont{Gulim}
Hope it helps!! Cheers!

\setCJKmainfont
commands? Also, you should mention that this solution requiresxelatex

In my experience, Will answer works for me.
If you want to install kotex package, you can use this repository URL in Tex Live Manager 2013.
http://ftp.ktug.org/KTUG/texlive/2013/
If you use other version, such as 2011, you can just change the number in URL.
